Windows 10: Share desktop images to Instagram

Until this week I could save images to my desktop, then share them on Instagram. I would simply open the image, click share at the top right of the screen, then choose Instagram. Suddenly Instagram is no longer a choice. The icon disappeared. In fact, the entire array of icons seems to have changed. What happened?


I have updated both Microsoft and Instagram, but still can't perform the share function. Any help would be appreciated.

Sharing to Instagram

When I open Photos or any Photo app in my Windows 10 computer and try to share the app for Instagram has disappeared. I have used this feature frequently but as of a few days ago it is just not there. I can't send a pic of the app choices so I sent this
photo.





The Instagram app was there forever and just is not anymore. How can I link it back into the share options?
